Obama Poised for Hostile Military Takeover of U.S.

I think there's a cycle on Free Republic. It goes Election -> Secession -> Paranoia. When each chapter fails to materialize, they move on to the next. Thus we're getting a bubbling up of stories that Obama is planning on a military takeover of the US on accounta being an evil Hitler.

Lumper20 thinks it can't get more obvious than this:

If DHS buying this ammo doesn’t bother folks-nothing will.

Aria sees a trend...a Hitlerian trend:

Why are the generals resigning?

I’m worried about people trained to follow orders...any orders. There were studies done quite a few years ago that substantiated that someone like Hitler could get away with the same thing here in the USA because of people believing what they are told rather than what they see.

This is zero’s whole shtick - believe what I say...not what you see or know.

"Believe what I say...not what you see or know." Freepers and cults, man.

batterycommander thinks Hitler's book was an instruction manual:

And the brown shirts were made up of queers and other degenerates who couldn’t get into the Wehrmacht. Hitler used them for his political purposes to terrorize the people. He had to kill Rohlm and others when they no longer became useful. Obama’s brown shirts are DHS. Obama has his own propaganda machine and mouthpieces. Obama must have read Hitler’s book.

fatnotlazy agrees that the gays are key. Also, he has no understanding of Tiananmen Square.

He's populating the military with gays (huge supporters) and removing & replacing personnel who won't fire on US citizens. He's building a military that will be loyal to him.

Remember the people of China didn't think the military would fire on them. Remember Tiannamen Square?

Dubh_Ghlase notes the other evil forces:

Don’t forget unionized police and prison guards. There’re many who would have a lot to lose if they disobeyed a direct order to fire (probably including their owen lives). Don’t think for a moment the organizers behind it wouldn’t already have plans to make an example of those first few who might hesitate when the order to fire is given...

Arthur McGowan equates enforcing Roe v. Wade with a military coup:

American cops proved that they will kill people if ordered to do so, during the pro-life rescue movement. Many cops wept, but still they removed people whose bodies were blocking the doors to abortion mills.

Most people don’t worship or obey God; they worship and obey whoever signs their paycheck.

Secret Agent Man is feeling the one world government angle:

what he is doing is outline in Freedom From War, state dept publication 5277. he’s building an interal security force and ramping down the external military to be more under control of the un/international community.

i believe he’d call the un troops in if needed. and i believe he is removing commanders who would not work under the un/international command.

cripplecreek has this hypothesis:

I think the DHS is shipping ammo overseas.

...To Muslims? I don't get it.

Old Yeller explains Obama's plan:

If the entire workforce sat at home cowering in their basements, the country will come to a standstill. What's the good of being Emperor of that?

His desire to destroy this country outweighs his desire to be emperor. He can always flee back to Africa and become a Mugabe there.

Windflier is optimistic that the liberals desire for a military dictatorship will never come to pass, cause our military sucks.

The American military has been tied down in Afghanistan for over a decade by a bunch of 7th century towelheads with AKs and IEDs. Can you even imagine the level of difficulty with prosecuting a shooting war against a culturally advanced, heavily armed, and educated patriot population?

Unless George Soros becomes Emperor of The World sometime soon, nothing remotely like that scenario is even possible. Conquer the American people by force? It's a leftist pipe dream, nothing more.

Strategerist keeps trying to combat id with facts:

Going to be pretty embarrassing when Obama leaves office in 2016 and nothing happened, no military takeover, no martial law, etc.

The article has an infinite number of infinitely repeated stupidities and lies, but what I can’t get over is the “hollow point” paranoia - LE rounds are routinely hollow points because you don’t want rounds passing through perps to the innocent.

I thought only leftist gun-grabbers were supposed to be ignorant of firearms?

I have to grant the imbecile that wrote this something; somehow connecting the Weather Underground to NOAA Fisheries enforcement officers buying a few rounds for their sidearms is a neat and original trick.

What comes after paranoia, I wonder? The election is a year and a half away...
